Wicker Park Walk

 Talk about cabin fever!  Finally, 70 and Sunny!  Victoria and Caroline were all dressed up in their new outfits (Thanks Auntie Joanne!) and ready for a stroll in the 'hood.

Dad walked them over to Wicker Park where they had a chance to get some fresh air and play with some toys.

Caroline went down for a snooze, but Victoria kept chuggin' along.    Oh yeah, it's official- Victoria has met the rolling-over milestone!!

Easter

Busy weekend for the ladies.  Stranger Danger phase started, but they did all right in the end.  Many moments w/ Family for their First Easter.

The family photo.

Mom did a great job helping Victoria through a tough day :)

Spring Hats

This photo was actually from last weekend when it was 80 in Chicago.  Couldn't resist the hats!

The little ladies are working on their posture.

Like little turtles.

 Looks like the blue eyes are here to stay for Victoria.

Caroline is slowly getting more comfortable on her stomach.

Swingers

The girls are loving the neighborhood park.

Cute bunnies

Thanks to Aunt Donna, the girls have their first Easter outfits!

Sunday Pit Stops

We covered a lot of ground today, stopping by for a visit w/ Nonnie Lo, doing a bunch of errands, and an afternoon visit to Nonnie and Pop's Wauconda where Auntie Kristin, Uncle Sean, and Aunt Catherine were there....and of course Evelyn!

Here is Nonnie Lo w/ C & V.  They just love visiting with her and she does a "Marvelous" job with them!

Aunt Carol and Uncle Tom stopped by for a vist at Lo's too.  Look at those sleepy eyes!

Caroline, the constant inspector, is examining Uncle Tom.

Victoria showed some late afternoon spunk w/ Pop.

Uncle Sean was able to hang w/ his nieces this afternoon too.

And here is the leader of the pack, Cousin Evelyn, who is quickly learning all kinds of new tricks.

Chuckin' Along

Cousins Amy & Chuck came over for pizza the other night and had a chance to hang w/ the ladies before they went to bed.  Here is Chuck trying out some of his new material on Victoria, which she surprisingly seems to dig!    Kudos to the Vinyards who have been a big help during the first 6 mos of C & V!

Saturday Guests

Grandpa Puccini visited for dinner on Saturday and we also had a surprise visit from the Carlson Clan.  Even better, the Carlsons are returning to Chicago, so the Girls will have a chance to play w/ Elle and Aidan for years to come!


Even w/ a bum shoulder, Grandpa was able to hold both of the little ladies!

Here is the Clan- Caroline, Elle, Victoria, and Aidan

Elle is so fashion-forward!

You talkin' to me?

Breakfast at Caroline's

Victoria has been into the mish-mash food for a week now, but Caroline has not expressed much interest; actually, she adamantly refuses anything on a spoon....Until this morning!  Mom mixed in a little Sweet Potatoes w/ the cereal and she began to partially participate.

They are both moved up to the hi-chairs now for a couple of the meals and they both seem to like sitting w/ Mom & Dad at the table.
